CTMH Sept 2013 Stamp of the Month Blog Hop - Poster Greetings

Welcome to the September Stamp of the month Blog hop.  This month, we're featuring "Poster Tidings" - S1309.  I love this set of 2 stamps.  It's perfect for fall and winter; you can use it on cards, scrapbook pages and altered items!

If you are coming here from Judy's blog, you are on the right track. The blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start here and work your way all around. If you get lost along the way, you’ll find the complete list of participating consultants here.

Let's see what the Close To My Heart Consultants have to show, sharing their creations using this great CTMH set on their blogs. This is simple to do - just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one! Here we go!

This month, I  created a card using the Rock and Roll technique.  First I inked the stamp in Autumn Terracotta, then rolled the edges in Barn Red before stamping. I distressed the edges of the stamped image before adding it to patterned paper from the Huntington collection.  I then distressed the edges and added cocoa ink to the edges of the stamped image.  The base of the card is 5"x 7" barn red cardstock, and I added a different patterned paper from Huntington.  Finally, I added items from the Rosewood mini medleys collection and sparkles from the Brown and Tan assortment..

For my second project, I used the Artbooking collection to create this page for my Christmas mini album.:

Now head on over to Carla's blog to see what she has in store for us! Be sure to visit all the Consultants at their Blogs to get some great crafting ideas and other fun ideas! Remember, this stamp is only available September 1 - September 30, 2013 for just $5.00 with a $50 purchase.
